Song For Adam (LP版) - Jackson Browne (杰克逊·布朗)[00:00:00]
Written by:Jackson Browne[00:00:00]
Though Adam was a friend of mine I did not know him well[00:00:24]
He was alone into his distance[00:00:30]
He was deep into his well[00:00:34]
I could guess what he was laughing at but I couldn't really tell[00:00:39]
Now the story's told that Adam jumped but I've been thinking that he fell[00:00:45]
Together we went traveling as we received the call[00:00:58]
His destination India and I had none at all[00:01:04]
Well I still remember laughing with our backs against the wall[00:01:12]
So free of fear we never thought that one of us might fall[00:01:19]
I sit before my only candle but it's so little light to find my way[00:01:27]
Now this story unfolds before my candle[00:01:40]
Which is shorter every hour as it reaches for the day[00:01:47]
But I feel just like a candle in the way[00:01:54]
I guess I'll get there but I wouldn't say for sure[00:02:00]
When we parted we were laughing still as our goodbyes were said[00:02:22]
And I never heard from him again as each our lives we led[00:02:28]
Except for once in someone else's letter that I read[00:02:36]
Until I heard the sudden word that a friend of mine was dead[00:02:43]
I sit before my only candle like a pilgrim sits beside the way[00:02:51]
Now this journey appears before my candle[00:03:03]
As a song that's growing fainter the harder that I play[00:03:10]
But I fear before I end I'll fade away[00:03:17]
But I guess I'll get there though I wouldn't say for sure[00:03:23]
Though Adam was a friend of mine I did not know him long[00:03:45]
And when I stood myself beside him I never though I was as strong[00:03:51]
Still it seems he stopped his singing in the middle of his song[00:03:59]
Well I'm not the one to say I know but I'm hoping he was wrong[00:04:06]
I'm holding out my only candle though it's so little light to find my way[00:04:14]
Now this story's been laid beneath my candle[00:04:27]
And it's shorter every hour as it reaches for the day[00:04:34]
Yes I feel just like a candle in the way[00:04:41]
I hope I'll get there but I never pray[00:04:46]
